The variegated wide-leaf holly, Ilex latifolia ‘Snow Flash’ is loaded with berries and looking quite spectacular in the garden this month. We’ve shared cuttings with several nursery folks, so hopefully, this will be making its way into the market. The plant was originally brought to the US from Japan by plantsman Barry Yinger. Our specimen below is now 18 years old. Hardiness is Zone 6a-9b.
Gorgeous! I would get one!!
I am sure that the Robins and Waxwings will be happy.
Indeed
Self pollinating ????
It certainly seems to be self pollinating
How tall and wide will this get/growth rate? I assume the variegation stunts it’s growth a bit? Hard to find any information on this specific cultivar. Saw this in person in the garden and loved it.
Our 18 year old plant is now 18′ tall x 15′ wide. This is the oldest/largest specimen in the US.
